ABOUT ME

My start in Motion Graphics.

Rob holds a degree in Specialized Technology, Computer Animation and Digital Media from the Art Institute of Philadelphia. He was the Senior Motion Graphics Designer for Modern Video Productions in Philadelphia for Broadcast TV and Film. Rob currently works in Charlotte as a freelance consultant specializing in motion graphics, graphic design, video editor, and photography for production and post production.

Robert Harmon is a genuine talent in motion graphics development and design. He understands how to bring a concept to life – be it a business idea or emotion – Rob can get the idea across with remarkable clarity. He is supremely easy to work with, and takes direction with ease. I recommend Rob without hesitation and look forward to working with him on many more future projects.

Suzi Schweiger McNicholas – VP Marketing

I would like to keep Rob’s services all to myself, but that wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the world who really need his help to lift their message to a whole new level. Rob did stellar work for my event and website post. The delivered motion graphics presentation has sparked new ideas for how to enhance my own brand and spread my message for my book and my Coaching Practice. Everything about Rob’s work is exceptional. There is real value to be found here.

Marilyn Carpenter – Director

Robert has a vision that is amazing. He certainly can do wonders with any format, whether it is video rendering or line drawing. Anyone who hires him will not be disappointed by the results of his work. His edge is simply outstanding and necessary in today’s graphics market.

Randy Stern – Contributing Writer

It’s always a pleasure to work with Robert for TV graphics and multi-media projects. He’s dependable from concept to deadline, talented with vector-based art or free-hand drawing. Rob remains dedicated, thorough and forthright about expectations. He offers clients the best ways to navigate options for Broadcast or On-Line deliverables — or both — as it is so often for today’s multi-platform world. A truly honest value and a committed professional who really cares about the end-product. Rob is irreplaceable. Best of all…he has a killer, dry sense of humor.

PORTFOLIO

Please review some of my work.

Motion graphics are animations created by using photos, video footage and/or animation. The easiest way to describe motion graphics to a client is to think of it like Photoshop but, with moving layers. Sometimes this is created using 2d or 3d elements for the animation. Motion graphics are used in a ton of different ways. Broadcast television, film, presentations, YouTube, Vimeo. Motion graphics continue to evolve as an art form with the incorporation of sweeping camera paths and 3D elements. I’ve been using After Effects for creating motion graphics since 3.0. It’s my go to application for creating this type of work. Please review some of my work and if your in need of some motion graphics please feel free to request a quote.
